the eagle with them from Eau Claire, that he
was taken from his nest by an Indian and
presented to them by him. I have read a
more romantic tale of his capture since then,
but this story is undoubtedly correct, as
nobody then thought of inventing the pleas
ant fictions about the famous eagle which
have since become so numerous. Our reri-
ment broke camp ut Camp Randall, in com
pliance with an order to so to Missouri, and
while marching through st. Louis the eagle
broke its string and flew away. Veal thought
that that was the last we would see of him.

some of his feathers once, and after that he

"'Old Ate was nuisance in some respects.
He was thieving bird, and when the rations
were distributed had to be watched or lie

beef and all kinds of meat, when there was
scarcely any for the boys. He was up to all
sorts of mischief, and wounded some of the
boys who were spared by rebel bullets. They
would plague him and he would peg at them
